Sailing School attendance is holding steady and we operated at capacity the last week of July and the first two weeks of August. Our instructors, led by Maggie Bacon, did an excellent job of providing instruction with enthusiasm and a whole lot of. fun. An interesting note: all of our instructors this year were either the children of Fleet members or MDI residents. For the first time in many years, it was not necessary for the Sailing School to provide housing for our instructors which resulted in a significant cost savings. Fleet Family Nights / Cookouts were very well attended this summer, especially when word got out that Tucker Charles and Daniel Hernandez were preparing lobster mac and cheese, pulled-pork sandwiches, and other delights. These casual evenings are a wonderful way to catch up with Fleet families SO mark your calendars for next year. This summer we once again hosted the US Sailing Junior Olympic Regatta. We had 136 youth sailors from all over the state come to Northeast Harbor for two days of competition in Optis, 420s, and Mercuries. I must thank the volunteers and the Sailing School staff who worked very long days to ensure that the experience was top notch for all the sailors. It is truly a sight to see all of these boats launching from the town dock and heading out to race in the Great Harbor and quite an experience for our NEH youth sailors as well. Fleet Organization - Page 2 Clifton Dock enjoyed a successful season with the Josephs again manning the pumps. A handful of moorings went unrented primarily because of changes in our demographics and boat ownership of our members. We will continue to address the erosion of the wall at Clifton Dock and pursue a workable solution. There was excellent racing at the Fleet, as always, lead by Fran Charles. Member communication was enhanced with weekly "This Week at the Fleet" emails arriving on Sunday evenings providing highlights from the week and a preview of the events coming up. Thank you to Sue Charles for her diligent work on this as well as the excellent videos of the racing each week. We had a very successful Down East Race Week with 15 boats participating - thanks to the hard work of Mike Cook. A new event was added at the end of July, an All Member Lobster Bake at the Fleet House, that coincided with the July IOD awards. It was a huge success and something we will certainly repeat next year. In a way, my two years as commodore can be thought of as a "reaching out" time for the Fleet. We are looking outward for new connections and new ways to enhance our members summer experiences. We are also looking inward to our membership for your input and suggestions and incorporating your ideas at all levels. We are reaching out to our friends at the Southwest Harbor Fleet and MDICSC to find cooperative ways to facilitate racing on the Great Harbor. By hosting the Junior Olympics, we are offering young sailors from across the state an opportunity to meet each other and compete in one of the most beautiful sailing venues around. Downeast Race Week, the Downeast Junior Sailing Association, and the Barton Eddison Race are more examples of reaching out to those with a similar interest who exist just outside our immediate circles. Through a series of. focus groups last summer and many, many candid conversations with Fleet members, we are looking inwardly as well. We are listening to your ideas, we are examining our programming, and we are questioning old assumptions - all in an effort to make the Northeast Harbor Fleet a place that will provide you and your families with treasured memories for many summers to come. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your commodore and I thank you all for the opportunity you have given to me. It was a leap of. faith for all of us. I must thank my fellow officers, David Schoeder, Steve Madeira, Bill Roberts and Scott Redmon for their support and encouragement. I am confident that the incoming officers will represent you well and I assure you, they are listening. See you on the water, Malinda Crain, Commodore Fleet Organization - Page 3 Race Management Team: Franny & Sue Charles 2012 Fleet Manager's Report Waterfront activities blossomed in the summer of 2012. As the weather scorched metro- politan areas to our south, Downeast Maine basked in almost continuous sunshine. The lack of. fog and rainy weeks resulted in more families exploring the waters of the Great Harbor and beyond. The Fleet was abuzz with daily activities and sailing instruction. It was common to look out over the anchorage at mid-afternoon and see more than 80% of the moorings empty as many folks were out and about enjoying a day on the water. The Sailing School program was expertly managed by Maggie Bacon. Her staff of dedicated, home-grown instructors made every day fun for our youth sailors. The opti classes were at capacity and the boats looked good and functioned flawlessly as they had many of the structural repairs done over the winter and many of the tired airbags and lines replaced. Merc class enrollment was higher than we have seen in a decade. Having fun with many friends in one boat not only is reassuring but helps build coop- erative spirit in our young sailors. The mercs had gorgeous new cockpit coamings, new jib tracks, and the mainsheets were re-rigged with a more modern aft bridle and head knocker boom mounted cleating arrangements. Our 420 enrollment has begun to drop and the boats were beginning to show their age despite regular maintenance. Rowing enrollment was also down but the youngsters who were enrolled had a blast as evidenced by the huge smiles at the end of every morning session. The young adults who have matured into sailing and rowing instructors are the key to inspiring our youth. Maggie and her staff kept everything fun and low key which quickly develops self-confidence and an inspiration to be on the water for all of the participants. Fleet Organization - Page 4 The highlight of the summer was hosting a fun and very windy Junior Olympic Festival from the NE Harbor Common area in front of the launching ramp in the inner harbor. Countless volunteers rallied to bring the many essential components of safely handling sailing, boat storage, feeding and all of the other zillions of responsibilities which a host club must coordinate. Commodore Crain stepped in to personally oversee and troubleshoot all the details from sunrise to well past sunset throughout the event. I want to thank all of our members who made this a wonderfully successful event for our youth and the visiting youth from all around Maine. Lauren Simmons expertly handled all of the Fleet 's daily operations. Not only did Lauren assist the Sailing program on a daily basis but she was always anticipating and expertly heading off dilemmas before they actually happened. Coordinating web site updates, food and party needs, mooring and dinghy assignments as well as our cloth- ing sales are but a few of the additional daily tasks which Lauren seamlessly handles throughout the season. Sue Charles, along with Lauren, worked very hard at pulling all event details together in order to have a comprehensive and accurate 'This Week at the Fleet' email sent to all on every Sunday evening in season. Deb Brown managed the invoicing and book keeping under the direction of Treasurer Bill Roberts. Our Boatswain, Liz Monahon, was assisted by Adam Ropp this year. Many members have come to appreciate Liz's friendly and helpful assistance as our head launch driver. However, she is also responsible for keeping all of the Fleet's motorboats and sailboats operating flawlessly as well as keeping our grounds looking good. Some of the many improvements made this past year were getting the trim on the PMC back to 'Bristol', adding solar path finder lights along the walkways and piers, and replacing the exhaust system on Shearwater. Commander Roy Hadlock made some dramatic improvements in our dock systems and moorings this past year. With the bulk of Roy's work coming before and after each season, not many of our members actually get to observe the expert at work. However, everyone gets to appreciate the fruits of his dedicated efforts. As our Styrofoam billets deteriorate under the floating docks, Roy has been swapping them out with plastic tubs. These will be much easier to clean, do not require toxic anti-fouling bottom paint and should last much longer as well. Our docks now will float at a consistent height and we are replacing the pressure treated deck surfaces with grey Trex boards which look good, clean easily and have a slightly textured, non-skid surface. The 'bridge' at Gilpatrick disappeared this summer and our extra dinghy finger dock was moved into the middle area to the west of the shack to accommodate our growing number of wider inflatable dinghies. A lower guide wire was added to our upper piers walkways to make them safer for younger children on the long walk down to the docks. The moorings now have all been swapped over to the new ball system. This year was the final swap over for many of the larger moorings. We have great confidence in the Fleet Organization - Page 5 improved safety factor and the extended lifespan for our chains. All chain is now dropped to the bottom in the fall and not brought back up until May. Deterioration by electrolysis, marine growth and exposure to oxygen is dramatically reduced. Our mooring pennants and buoys are kept clean for the easy swap every pre-season. Sailboat racing is not only strong but thriving! IODs, Luders and Cruising Class sailors have all made a concerted and vital effort to get our youth sailors participating on a regular basis. Involving the teens and young adults is the best investment in having a healthy organization that not only sustains but flourishes for years to come. The RC set courses this year which were never repetitive. Sausages are almost as boring as watching NASCAR racers always turning left around an oval. Your RC was regularly trying to mix it up with both shorter and longer course, islands and racing through transitional areas which were considered off-limits in the past. This approach kept everyone thinking and having fun. Reaching occasionally, running starts, a modern America's Cup course, sailing out around the Ducks made for anything but the 'same old same old' Dedicated RC assistance by Sue Charles on Shearwater daily as well as Bardy Roberts, Tucker Charles, and Daniel Hernandez on mark boat duty spoiled us with last second course changes and constant tweaking for perfection in race management. Ellie Andrews and Connie Madeira not only coordinate the awarding of Fleet wide trophies but do the extra effort to make sure that the engraving is always updated and exactly replicated. This is a monumental behind-the-scenes effort which is greatly appreciated. Our Fleet-wide social activities are becoming better organized, more frequent, and very well attended. The Lobster bake and July awards party was a smashing success with a catered dinner, BYOB affair, and tents on the lawn. Our Sailing School dinners and 4th of July cookout were delicious with homemade pulled pork sliders and lobster mac/cheese. Sailing School afternoon awards were all out ice cream extravaganzas instead of pink dogs and burgers. Ten movie videos were produced by Sue Charles over the course of the summer which highlighted all of the many fun sailing and social activities as they occurred. Commodore Malinda Crain and Flag Officers David Schoeder, Steve Madeira, and Bill Roberts continuously volunteered countless hours in making the NE Harbor Fleet a vibrant, dynamic and responsive organization. The Fleet Captains, SS Board Mem- bers, Race Committee, Membership Chair, and Grounds Chair all have demonstrated a personal stake in keeping the NE Harbor Fleet as a reason to be in Mt. Desert every summer. Their hard work is reflected in an organization which is thriving and adjusting to the everchanging environment and recreational service needs of our membership and prospective membership. The door is always open and welcoming at The Fleet. Respectfully submitted, Franny Charles Fleet Organization - Page 6 Above: Fran & his daughter, Grace, calling the finishers.

DICKEY MEMORIAL AWARD This award honors a Fleet member who, through excellence in the sport of sailing and/ or dedication and service, has made significant contributions to the Fleet. It is named after Charles Dennison Dickey, whose contributions predate the Fleet itself and span two World Wars. On Labor Day, 1913, Dickey sailed Bird, a 17' Knock-about or "B" boat, to win the first recorded one-design race in the area. In 1919, Dickey and three others (George Davenport Hayward, Edward W. Madeira, and Francis C. Grant) formed a "Race Committee" to govern a series of knockabout races in A & B-boats. In 1923, he was a member of the Fleet's founding Executive Committee under Commodore George Davenport Hayward. Dickey served as rear commodore in 1927, and then vice- commodore in 1928 and 1944.

Starting from Fleet Mark 'S' at Gilpatrick Cove the slower boats had a nice jump on the larger boats that started well after them in a staggered order based on their PHRF rating. The course designation was around the Cranberries, leaving them to port. A fairly fresh seabreeze had filled at 11am and seemed to be holding well. As the smaller vessels beat out the Western Way with the current still ebbing, the wind pressure dropped dramatically. Then, the tide changed direction and started flooding. It was a situation where it almost paid to anchor instead of getting sucked back into the Great Harbor. The team on Ondine hit a home run by getting into the Cranberry beach and grabbing a left handed puff which brought them out around the big red flashing bell. They were chased by Far Out, Flirt, Va Pensiero, Rascal and Amelia. All others just didn't have enough breeze to make the turn against the foul current. Ondine was way out in front by at least a mile with a 3-mile downwind leg to the next turn at Baker Island. However, a personal obligation after sailing required them to withdraw and head back to the Fleet. Current on the outside of Cranberry and Islesford was running hard to the east SO that was assisting all. Eventually, a bit of seabreeze refilled and those who had gotten out of the Western Way filled their sails. An amazingly tight finish occurred with the course shortened to the can at Baker's. Flirt and Far Out passed Rascal in the last 100 yards and then Flirt just held off the hard charging Far Out by a whisker.

We began at Fleet Mark S in a gorgeous Southerly at 12-14 knots. The course was out around Black Island to port and back again. Yes, that was an intended 18-mile course, although it was shortened at the very end to 17.5 miles. Sean Beaulieu in his dad's Pisces 21 hung on as long as possible but finally got swallowed by the big guns on the back side of Black Island. Eventyr held the lead as the spinnakers were set but Far Out, the big red machine, grabbed the lead before they got back to Great Gott. The current was still flooding SO everyone had a delightful fast run back into the Western Way and a reach to finish at Greening Island. Congratulations to the team on Far Out led by Hal Kroeger who sealed the MDI Series for 2012 with this win.

Starting in the 'gyre' under Greenings the pursuit race course was a total of 11-miles (2 miles shorter than around the Cranberries). The first beat was out to 'E' at the the mouth of the Western Way. A long run back to the Sound with the flooding current saw the Fleet split at Greening Island. A much shorter windward leg to Q at Spurling Point was followed by a broad reach to Bear island and a tighter, but still on the beam, reach back to the finish. The winning boat arrived back at 1608. Thirteen competitors enjoyed the fun test of seamanship and boat handling with three Luders, four IODs, and six cruising class boats mixing it up. There were plenty of tricky decisions to be made as the wind was shearing left on the left side and hard right on the right side. The middle was deadly. Allowing those who were less comfortable with solo sailing to sail with a partner certainly helped with the participation numbers. Congratulations to Sandro Vitelli who arrived 90 minutes early to re-rig Firefly SO it would be easier to have halyards led aft to the cockpit. Sandro can smell every shift before it arrives and he displayed great strategic skills as well as impressive boat handling through the turns. Pancho Cole led for most of the first lap in a non-spinnaker Luders, Etude, but got reeled in by Sandro just before the leeward mark P at the Sound.

In both races four boats qualified for the championship, gold medal race. It was hard to come back from a bad start with so many competitors pushing the line hard.

Cruising Class - Page 29 INTERNATIONAL ONE-DESIGN 23 2012 Class Captain's Report The 2012 IOD summer series had many memorable moments as well as a few firsts in the history of the fleet. July's highpoint was the first fleet lobsterbake attended by over 100 members and guests including members of the Southwest Harbor fleet and Seal Harbor. Hopefully this will be an annual tradition that will continue to recognize and expand the community of sailors in the Great Harbor area. The July series was dominated by Gambler and Mischief right from the start with Silver Spray steadily in third through most of the series. Congratulations to Tyler, Wells, and Parker for leading the youth movement for the fleet, and John Henry for helping promote new talent to the fleet leaving us older boys further back in the pack, thank you John. A new sport was introduced by Steve Homer called pass the whistle, appropriate for delayed foggy starts with time to spare. The loser is the last boat caught holding the whistle. Scoring is unofficial and results are kept sealed in a beer bottle underneath the Bear Island buoy along with the whistle. Results could disrupt international fleet standings. The August series showed the return of the old guard headed by John Henry, Bill Dowling, Tom Freemont-Smith, and David Rockefeller all taking the top four spots, congratulations! Fran Charles did the usual amazing job of setting fantastic courses and holding several oversubscribed classes following up each race with a thorough writeup of a blow-by- blow description of the day. His wife Sue constantly manned the video camera, creating movies which were available almost weekly, thank you for that. Honorable mentions also should go to Lauren for keeping the fleet moving especially with all the help for the lobster bake, Maggie Bacon for kicking butt and getting a re- cord amount of boats and participants out there for the Barton Edison race along with IOD Class - Page 30 for several Luders, and finally, to our fearless new commodore who pulled fifth and David, July and August. I would say hes is probably the most improved boat in the sixth leave no boats behind, Schoeder is in fact leaving more boats behind, well done! fleet. Finally is in closing, I would like to say as captain of the fleet for the last two it been a great pleasure and hopefully the fleet is better for my efforts, although seasons it appears I have forgotten how to sail. This was demonstrated in the Recent Bermuda right, as hurricane Sandy blew by!

Attendance was down 12%. We were very fortunate to have the children supported by excellent staff and instructors focused on instruction, seamanship, making the experience fun, and perhaps most importantly, safe. As you would expect, we remain intently focused on youth sailing in our variety of boats and venues to promote a lifetime of enjoyment on the water. At the same time, we refined our family programming to better meet the needs of the current membership. One of the major highlights of the summer was our hosting of the 2013 Northeast Junior Olympics. We had approximately 140 junior sailors participate in the event. 36 skippers raced in the opti green fleet, 28 in the opti red, white, and blue fleets, 36 teams in the 420s, and 3 Mercuries on the starting line. Thank you to all who volunteered your time and effort to make this event a success. As you have seen from communications sent earlier by the Commodore and myself, we continue to emphasize and enhance our focus on our outreach program to attract greater participation by youth within the greater MDI community. In this vein, the sailing school awarded scholarships to five students totaling $3,500 in tuition. We enjoyed a fun and productive summer of 2012. Please always remember that much of this is due to your tax deductable contributions. You will see exciting capital and operating reserve initiatives in 2013 that will ensure the long term viability of the Northeast Harbor Sailing School. Respectfully submitted, James W.

It is awarded to members of the Rowing Class, one in July and one in August, who are outstanding rowers and enthusiastic and disciplined members of the rowing class. The name, "Captain's Award," is derived from the fact that in years past many families had captains for their boats and launches. These captains spent much time, while awaiting orders from their employers, looking after and assisting the young children around the dock, teaching them to learn about and respect the water. The award is a mahogany plaque, which hangs on the wall in the Fleet displaying the winners for each year. The winner in July and the winner in August has their name engraved on a brass plate mounted on the plaque. The winners also receive a small Fleet burgee to keep. These burgees are given by Mr. Hopkins each year. The honored captains to be congratulated for 2012 are Oliver Scott for July and Marina Steinle for August. The rowing classes were led by our head instructors, Kallie Atterbury & Katie Horneffer.

Smith XV Alan McIlhenny Jr. Yachts - Page 62 FLAG ETIQUETTE LG SF General Flags shall be flown properly or not at all. Morning colors are made at 0800; evening colors at sunset. As used herein, "at anchor" means not underway; "may" means the routine is permissible; "shall" means the routine is required; "starboard spreader" means the lowest, forward-most starboard spreader. Only one flag may be displayed in the position called for by the routine. Ex- cept as noted herein, any conflict shall be resolved by observing the following hierarchy: 1. Ensign 2. Race Committee flag while acting as committee boat 3. Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore in that order 4. Union Jack 5. Club Burgee 6. Private Signal Ensign As used herein, "ensign" means the national ensign or the traditional (circle of thirteen stars around a fouled anchor) yacht ensign (if of U.S. registry). A yacht in commission and manned shall display the ensign as follows: Fleet Administration - Page 63 1. At anchor, a yacht shall display the ensign at the stern between morning and evening colors, except that a yacht that will be unmanned at color time shall make evening colors before hand. 2. Underway, a yacht shall display the ensign when there is sufficient light for identification. a) A power yacht or a sailing yacht under power alone shall display the ensign at the gaff or, lacking a gaff, at the stern. b) A yacht under sail, when not racing, shall display the ensign preferably at the gaff or upper leach of the after most sail, or at the stern. The ensign shall not be dis- played while racing. 3. The traditional yacht ensign shall not be flown in inter- national waters. NEHF Burgee The Club burgee may be displayed only when a yacht is under the direct command of a Northeast Harbor Fleet member. The Club burgee shall be displayed at the bow staff of single masted power yachts, at the foremost truck of schooners and multi-masted power yachts and at the mainmast truck of other rigs. The Club burgee shall be flown ONLY at the masthead position, never at a spreader or other unauthorized position. The Club burgee may be displayed at night. Dressing Ship On the appropriate occasions, a yacht may, when at anchor (or when un- derway in a marine parade), weather permitting, dress ship from morning to evening colors. Any sequence is acceptable. The proper procedure is that the halyard line of the last flag off the bow and the stern should just touch the waterline. Private Signal The private signal is normally displayed when the ensign is hoisted. It may be displayed at the mainmast truck of schooners and power yachts and at the mizzen truck of yawls and ketches. Cutters and sloops may display the private signal at the truck in lieu of the burgee except while at anchor. At anchor, they may display the private signal at the jack staff. The private signal may be displayed at night.

SECTION 3. A transaction in which a director or officer has a conflict of interest may be approved by the directors or the members before or after consummation of the transaction as follows: A. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may authorize, approve or ratify a transaction under this section if the material facts of the transaction and the director's or officer's interest are disclosed or known to the Board or committee of the Board. A conflict-of-interest transac- tion is approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors or on a committee of the Board who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction, but a transaction may not be approved under this subsection by a single director. If a majority of the directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction vote to approve the transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of taking action under this Section. B. The members may authorize, approve or ratify a transaction under this Section if the material facts of the transaction and the director's or officer's interest are disclosed or known to the members.

Wilbur, EA INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT February 27, 2013 To the Board of Directors of The Northeast Harbor Fleet Northeast Harbor, Maine We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Northeast Harbor Fleet (a non-profit corporation) as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in these circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fleet's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Northeast Harbor Fleet as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Y HORTON, McFARLAND & VEYSEY, LLC CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ELLSWORTH MAINE 04605 Fleet Administration - Page 73 The Northeast Harbor Fleet Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2012 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies The Northeast Harbor Fleet financial statements include the operations for which the Board exercises oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility is demonstrated by financial interdependency, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters. Nature of Activities The Northeast Harbor Fleet is a private member supported organization providing racing and cruising activities serving 400 members in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Basis of Accounting The accrual basis of accounting has been used in these financial statements. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized when they are incurred. Financial Statement Presentation The Northeast harbor Fleet complies with the Financial Statements of Not-for-profit Organizations topic of the FASB Codification. Under this topic, the Fleet is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. A description of The Northeast Harbor Fleet's net asset categories is as follows: Unrestricted - Unrestricted net assets consist of investments and otherwise unrestricted amounts that are available for use in carrying out the mission of the Organization, and include those expendable resources which have been designated for special use by the Board of Directors. Temporarily Restricted - Temporarily restricted net assets represent those amounts which are donor restricted for specific purposes. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Permanently Restricted - Permanently restricted net assets result from contributions from donors who place restrictions on the use of the funds which mandate that the original principal be invested in perpetuity. The Northeast Harbor Fleet does not have any temporarily or permanently restricted net assets as of September 30, 2012. HM HORTON, McFARLAND & VEYSEY, LLC CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ELLSWORTH, MAINE 04605 Fleet Administration - Page 74 The Northeast Harbor Fleet Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2012 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments Investments with readily determinable fair values are reflected at fair market value. To adjust the carrying value of the investment, unrealized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Activities and in the change in net assets. Fair Values of Financial Instruments In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards, a three-tiered hierarchy of input levels is used for measuring fair value. Financial Accounting Standards defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied. The three tiers of input used for fair value measurement are as follows: Level 1: Fair values based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market date for substantially the full term of the assets. Level 3: Fair values are calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies and may require significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data. The Northeast Harbor Fleet's only financial instruments that are reported at fair value are the investments which fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market under the first-in, first-out method of accounting and consist of merchandise and supplies.

The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. There were no uninsured funds at September 30, 2012 and 2011. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows the Organization considers all demand deposit accounts to be cash. Accounts Receivable The Organization's Accounts Receivable arises from the billing of membership dues and charges on credit terms. Receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts, and specific circumstances of the customer. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses consist of those amounts which have been paid for insurance in advance of the service date, as well as income tax refunds carried forward to future years. Contributions Gifts of equipment are reported as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated asset must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how those assets must be maintained, expirations of donor restrictions are reported when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service. Plant Assets and Depreciation Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated at rates calculated to amortize the original cost over the useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. As part of the Fleet's policies, long term upgrades and repairs with a frequency of three years or greater, or assets with a cost of $1,000 or more are capitalized.

However, the Fleet is subject to federal income tax on its unrelated trade or business income of $1,000 or more. Interest income was below $1,000 for 2012. Interest income of $100 was taxable for 2011. The Fleet regularly reviews and evaluates its tax position taken in previously filed information returns and as reflected in its financial statements, with regard to issues affecting its tax exempt status, the event of an examination by taxing authorities, its position would prevail based upon technical merit of such positions. Therefore, the Fleet has concluded that no tax benefits or liabilities are required to be recognized with the exception of interest income and the credit for small employer health insurance premiums. There was no excise tax on investment income for 2012; the excise tax was $4 for 2011. The credit for small employer health insurance premiums was $957 and $1064 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. Related health insurance expense was reduced by the amount of the credit. The Northeast Harbor Fleet tax returns are subject to federal and state review by taxing authorities for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Note 2 -Investments Clifton Dock Corporation Northeast Harbor Fleet owns all the outstanding stock of Clifton Dock Corporation which engages in waterfront service activities and is taxable as a C Corporation under federal and state income tax rules. Clifton's book value was reported at $233,316 and $238,152 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
